“The Eastern Front: Terror and Torture in Ukraine”: San Francisco Premiere

Join author/journalist Zarina Zabrisky and author Alexandra Kostoulas of SF Creative Writing Institute for the San Francisco premiere of The Eastern Front: Terror and Torture in Ukraine.

A documentary war film directed by Byline TV filmmaker Caolan Robertson and featuring UK veteran war correspondent John Sweeney (Killer in the Kremlin), UK renowned war photographer Paul Conroy (A Private War, Under the Wire), and US author-turned-journalist Zarina Zabrisky (We, Monsters).

Join us for a harrowing journey to Ukraine’s heart of darkness. Frontline accounts. Unfiltered footage. No room for denial.

This documentary is “an exquisitely crafted, moving, strangely romantic indictment of Russian brutality.”

One screening only.

“Russian authorities are battling to keep clips of a new war film from getting widely shared across the social media platform RuTube, the country’s equivalent to Youtube… which gives compelling evidence for the use of illegal weapons and the torture of civilians in Ukraine, as well as documenting the devastation the war has wrought on a once peaceful country.—The London Economic, 5.27.2023
